“People want to rock, they want to party, but they want the songs to be about their lives, and all I’ve ever done is write about my life and take it on the road,” Gilbert said in a press release. “I come from the same kind of place our fans do, and there’s a lot of people just like me out there – and they show up because they know we’re gonna put it down.”

He added, “We try to take all the songs even further live.”
